About the Episode
Fake news is a dangerous construct. It allows people to quickly dismiss facts that don’t mesh with their worldview. Lee Caraher and Anne Green talk about why the truth matters, point out why you should stop using the term ‘fake news’ and argue that the stakes have never been higher to advocate for a communication platform that values ethics and facts.
About Anne
Anne Green is a 25-year veteran of the communications industry. She kicked off her PR career at Burson-Marsteller in the early 90s, and has been helping to lead and grow the wonderful team at CooperKatz since 1996. She's proud to have partnered with scores of dynamic clients over the years - from her early days on GE and DuPont, to more recent engagements with Memorial Sloan Kettering, Fiserv and Coldwell Banker Real Estate. Just two of her career highlights include unveiling MetroCard for the NYC MTA and launching Virgin Mobile in the U.S. - with the added plus of engaging directly with Sir Richard Branson.
In addition to overseeing the agency's strategic direction, growth and operations, Anne serves as a senior counselor to many CooperKatz clients. She is deep into digital and loves the highly-integrated nature of PR work today. And she's a seasoned media and presentation skills coach with a passion for executive training. Anne serves on the board of directors of the PR Council and has collected some nice industry accolades along the way (though that "40 Under 40" seems like a while ago now!). In her personal life, she's a singer married to a drummer and is good at steadily over-committing herself to many great organizations.
